My Muse

A mere poet, powerless to provide you with the reasons for which you inspire.
If intrigue had a name, that name would be yours.
My muse, you've captured me and won my heart,
Yet, ne'er a word have you whispered my way.
Wonder causes the words to escape my pen,
The ink flows as I ponder what truths lie behind the smile.
What words of wisdom? What beauties lie behind your lips?
I fear of knowing you. Your name, your embrace.
For serenity lies in silence, if strangers we were not,
The words would dry in my pen, The sole reason for writing
would disappear and cease to exist. For the mystery that is you,
My muse, would no longer provide me a will to write.
My love, my inspiration, my intriguing mystery,
I sacrifice our chance at cheerful content,
That I might once more fill paper with pen,
The world with your beauty.

    this is a really good poem. i love your choice for words, and the way that it just... i dont know how to explain it, like how it just flows around and in the words, do you know what i mean??

    I fear of knowing you. Your name, your embrace.
    For serenity lies in silence, if strangers we were not,
    The words would dry in my pen, The sole reason for writing
    would disappear and cease to exist.

    i love this part the most... it just took my breath away. i know the feeling. i really really do. good job!

    that is a very sweet poem, and it holds lots of great wordage! i love it! good job!

    Yet, ne'er a word have you whispered my way.
    Wonder causes the words to escape my pen,
    The ink flows as I ponder what truths lie behind the smile.
    What words of wisdom? What beauties lie behind your lips?

    Awesome write

    If only the love you have spoken of was realized and life was embrased by such love would it be enough to satify .For so often a love with such passion is found mostly within the dream of what if . Yet a love so pure for it was never truly tested through reality
